I always thought that the inhabitants of the White Lodge could not "outright" come to the aide of any of the terrestrial TPers, that they could not interfer beyond a certain point in their lives. I think that like the GIANT the Tremonds could not tell Laura directly about BOB being in Leland, nor could they prevent her death, but could provide vague clues, hints which were up to Laura to decipher and to use. It was up to Laura to choose her own path, they could not get too involved in this. Laura had to deal with her own demons, and Laura had to confront her "shadow-self" and had to deal with it on her own. I am not sure that, even though the picture was errie, they probably gave it to her to get a vision of the lodges and from there she had to decide for her self. Again, maybe the dream/vision was like Coop's dream, it held the clues and thus the answers, and it was up to Laura to find that out for herself, and to use it as she liked.
